Perfectly located in Plakias for beaches, bars, tavernas & shops. Have been visiting for approximately 15 years. Medium sized hotel, in attractive surroundings. Pleasant dining options, very good food, lots of variety. Decent pool, reasonable number of loungers though limited space at pool which can be tricky to walk around. Rooms are simple but comfortable, nice private outdoor space . Small fridge in room but no tea/coffee making facilities. The only negative is the very small bathrooms which are quite dated & l think a large person or someone with mobility problems would struggle in the shower. Everything is spotlessly clean.The staff are lovely, big shout out to Ami a real character!

Another great holiday
Posted 10 Oct 2023 on HotelsThis was our 6th trip here, so obviously there is a lot to love. Three times as a couple, this was 3rd with two younger generations. Staff are lovely - although there is a risk of wine recommendations becoming a sales pitch. There are lots more hotel-organised trips available than before. This can provide comfort and confidence to new visitors but you can save money if you choose to arrange them yourself. Pool area is beautifully kept and clean. There are not a huge number of sun beds - most people head to the very close beach, so pool never feels overcrowded. Baby pool and play area is good, and board games etc inside if you want them. Endless easy-listening cover version music was a bit distracting - would happily have more Greek background music on low volume. Great music night with live musicians and dancing. Plentiful food in restaurant but a risk of it being too easy to dine here every night - visit the local restaurants at least once for more local atmosphere.

A great hotel choice in Plakios. Staff are friendly and helpful, rooms are clean and comfortable and the included breakfast and dinner buffets are amazing. Parking is tight on site and you can easily walk to the sea, shops and resturants.

Best hotel in Plakias
Posted 8 Aug 2023 on HotelsEverything was great. The food was delicious and different each day. Customer service was amazing and client-focused. The only small downside (only a downside if you care about this) is the size of the pool, which wasn't too big.

Nice hotel. But everything inside the room seems to be very old. Couldn’t sleep with ac because it worked too loud. They give you a key not as a plastic card but a metal one with a big thing on it. Breakfast is ok. Location is ok. Close to the beach. Many restaurants and supermarkets around.

Dear Nikita,
thank you very much for taking the time to give us a short review. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the air conditioning and will pass this on to our in-house technician, who will certainly solve this issue.
Stay healthy and visit us soon again in Plakias

Excellent public areas, staff good, room poor
Posted 3 Nov 2020 on HotelsThe staff warmed during our stay at this hotel. Very high standard public areas both inside and out. The rooms were adequate but a little basic and our room had a tiny shower/bathroom area.
Gardens and pool were exceptionally well maintained and the virus precautions were excellent.

Stay here!!
Posted 31 Aug 2020 on HotelsAmazing place. Excellent staff. Excellent food at the restaurant. Truly enforcing COVID-19 policies. All staff wear masks. They have a real plan for social distancing and making sure there is a safe traffic flow through the restaurant, also keeping a maximum number of guest in the buffet at any one time. By the way, the staff serves the food at the buffet. The guests are precluded from touching the food. It is a very safe place and I never felt concerned like I have at other hotels on Crete. The room was very comforts with extremely comfortable beds and pillows. The swimming pool is very clean. Several lounge chairs to choose from. Beach/pool towels are provided. I would definitely stay here again. No question!
